Trek Madone SL 5.9

I have been looking for a bike for a month now, and I finally pulled the trigger: I bought a 2006 Trek Madone SL 5.9, which was on sale at Chain Reaction Bicycles in Redwood City, CA. I added the Shimano PD-7800 SPD-SL Road Racing Pedals, the mandatory Shimano SC-6502 Flight Deck, a couple of Bontrager Race X Lite Carbon cages, and a Terry Falcon Y saddle (without screened falcon). Before I take it for a first ride, I will also add the Garmin GSC 10 speed/cadence sensor to match my Garmin Forerunner 305. Sweet…

[…] Today, I took my first ride on my new bicycle. I went on Sand Hill Road, then Portola Road, and back home through Alpine Road. 17.8 miles of fun. My rear end is killing me, and somehow my right arm is very sore, but it’s a lot less painful than I would have expected it to be. Also, getting used to the locking pedals was fairly easy. I cannot wait for my next ride. […]
